Show possibly have been raised for you, and you would have felt better in the future for having accepted charity than you will if you sold your support to the enemy of your people. . Another spectacle is Hon. Thomas Kearns attempting to purify the atmosphere of Utah. Another case of ingratitude. We sent him, unqualified as he was, to the most dignified assembly in our country. I have many times' been asked why wo did so by parties in the east. There was no explanation. Chagrin! People in the east are prepared to meet ignorant Mormons, but they say sending Mr. Kearns to the senate was the most conclusive evidence of that ignorance. We have believed, however, that Mr. Kearns meant well and appreciated what he got, and if the Republicans who have tried to justify the Insane act of exalting so unworthy and ungrateful a man to his high office could have been told of such infamous treatment as they are now being subjected to at his hands, they could not have believed it. It all goes to convince young voters that they must keep their affairs in their own bands.- Look back, young people, on that Kearns and Heath combination that was brewing in the Tribune office when we little suspected for what purpose they were going to dupe us. Had that his kept searchlight Roosevelt hands off, we would doubtless have been asked to send the pair of them to Washington. Now, Heath is settled in Egypt, and Kearns buried in contempt. But we are all too slow to learn. If we are not careful, in a year or two from now we will be kicking ourrelves for repeating the folly in voting for O. W. Powers. Dont you know, my friends, that it is a rule of congress that a new man is not to have too much to say. His efforts for at least one session are supposed to be very modest and consist chiefly of committee work. Do you remember what caused the expresrooster of the sion, was told It Rockies? by a companion of Senator Hanna that one Joseph Howell was. worth a half dozen mouthy men in congress, and that it would be very unwise. not to return that gentleman to congress. Such men stand high, and have a dignity that accomplishes much more among congressmen of longer standing than a blow-harBesides, Hon. Jos. Howell is a son of Utah. He spent his younger days building up the country, not planting discord and causing suffering. He is a worker and not specially a talker. Talk is called parade in congress, and never changes the voters mind 3. Young Utah will vote for Mr. Howell, and pn the same ground for the whole Republican ticket! They want a son of industry for governor. They will resent the fight against the people who have made this state. They have been duped long enough. The miserable fight made against them has caused them to flock together and we hope to forever bury the grafters, dissenters, mischief-makerpersecutors, vote buyers, carpet-bagger- s and miserable traitors. - .

A copy, was procured According to the Democrats, the it was discovered publican presidents, every one of them, and sure enough REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS. have been a bad lot, personally and politically. Each and all of them were declared to be ruining the country; but when the day of reckoning came, and the verdict of the people was handed in on their ballots, judgment was given save in two cases In 44 years for the Republicans. Impartial history acquits every Republican president of criminal intent and acts. In doing his duty to the people Mr. Lincoln became a martyr. No ruler was ever more vilified and denounced. His body in life, his spirit in death, represent the dividing line between loyalty and disloyalty, between cohesion of the states or their disintegration. When a Democrat, be he leader or follower, writes or talks of the Republican party as a nation destroyer through its measures or its presidents, it is because he does not know or does not care to remember that Buchanan, who was a Democrat, shaped the course of his administration so that the advocates of secession might have a quick and easy victory; it was this Democratic president who left to his Republican successor and the loyal people he had been chosen to govern, an empty treasury, a corporals guard of an army, a wreck of a navy, dismantled fortresses, and legions of officeholders ulcerated with a disloyalty that the stern lessons of war and years of Christian peace have not entirely eradicated. And before Buchanan were Democratic administrations whose acts were seemingly studied preludes to his crime. The lineage of the Democratic party is a record of broken pledges conceived in political iniquities and strangled at their birth. It is the Democratic party to which the people owe four years of civil war and eight years of such that the rich became poor and the poor starved. It ha3 been the province of the Republican party to unto the work of its opponents; it has again and again saved the nation from degenerating to e a of nationalities, and it has enforced respect throughout the world for a country which the Democrats had brought into contempt. Of course the Democrats assail Republican presidents and their nominees for the place of chief executive; they do this more by innuendo than direct accusation a stabbing in thebydark rather than a fight in the sunlight. But there is always this in favor of the Republican partys presidents from the time they begin to make history for the nation that for their support in the ordeal of public criticism they have had the constitution of the Union, Its congresses, and the voice of the peo-pie-. mis-governme- nt low-grad- o HIS STRONG WAY.

That a party could even be considered upon election day that has such an. organization of systematic hired liars in its employ is a lasting tribute to the of the American' people, and these lies are about our own government, our own peoplq, our own property, and our own public affairs. Take the Salt Lake Herald, for Instance, the sheet that if it happens there is a lie going about reflecting over-generosi- ty the that according to the Herald andleadand Democratic party speakers ers, the Philippine islanders were, by the American people, being robbed and swindled, the Filipinos were being deprived of life, liberty and the right to pursue happiness; that a great the peostanding army was crowding unnecesa that great ple to the wall; was terrorizing American navy sary the people of other nations and menacing the peace of the world; that our , battleships, through American ignorance and lack of knowledge, were only half armored and their vital parts left so they could be readily sunk by the shells from an enemys ship; that the president of the nation stays awake at nights conning over in his mind devilish schemes to crush other countries; that the American nation is no longer true to the Monroe doctrine; that one week the government is running behind in its expenses through Republican misrule, and the next week it is piling up a surplus because of extravagant robbery of the people through tariffs and lastly, if the prescious sheet i3 to be believed. President Roosevelt has made a deal with Sen ator Smoot. If there are any other evils to be mentione, that we have missed In our perusal, the Herald will probably bring them to light. We expect next to have it charged that epidemics and disease follow Republican rule. Out upon the Democratic party that like some huge vulture constantly watches for some great calamity that it may feed and fatten, that keeps its venomous continually searchlight upon the people to discover some weak spot that it may magnify and exag- THE JUDICIAL CANDIDATE. We have already characterized in suitable terms Judge Parkers deliber. ate repetition at Esopus of his groasly false assertion that in addition to aa original outlay of 120,000,000, this country has wasted more than 650. 000,000 of the peoples money on the Philippines, The original statement, wrong to the extent' of about 9450,000 000, as the official records prove, was presumably a blunder due to sheer ig. norance. Its reaffirmation after axpo. sure cannot be accounted for except on an hypothesis which it would be painful to suggest. But this wild per-version was not the only amizing feature of Judge Parkers speech. He quoted from an unnamed observer a description of conditions in the Phili-- ppines which, according to the latest and most authoritative testimony, bears not the remotest resemblance to the truth, and much of which, indeed, is preposterous on the face of it. Yet the Democratic candidate is not ashamed on the basis of these fantastic inventions of one unknown witness, to pronounce judgment and demand redress. Is this the course which Judge Par ker has been in the habit of pursuing on the bench? Was it his custom, as a trial judge, to ignore all the rest of the evidence, accept as conclusive a single individuals unsupported allegations and order a verdict to correspond? Did he make it a practice during the latter part of his judicial career to apply that treatment to cases on appeal, and vote for affirmation or reversal, according as a fragment of the evidence harmonized, with his sympathies or interests? Has Judge Parker unlearned in three months the judicial methods of twenty years? Or was he merely successful while on gerate to its own advantage, to whom the bench in concealing the proofs of misrepresentation is political gain, his prejudicie and partisanship? discontent, which itself creates, a stepping stone to power.
